The sign [X] (hereafter "the Mark") is a trademark, rights to which
are held by [Y], representing [Z] if applicable (hereafter "the
Mark Holder").
The word 'work' sounds copyright-ish and may seem strange when
you have a single word like 'debian' here.

Is it your intention to include the Expat license verbatim in
this license? If so, people still have to carry around both
the copyright and the trademark license.
Do you want to put in a "--- CUT HERE 8< ---" somewhere between
the copyright and the trademark part? Or do you want to make it
two files, Copyright.license and Trademark.license?
